Franklin - totally reasonable, but what we have been told by support is "we often allow two activations with a single license as long as it is for personal use."

In my case, about 80-90% is personal use.

Not just that. What happens when you have to do a complete recovery? What happens when you get a new computer? These policies are usually more clear in purchase disclaimers.

What happens if you get 2 new computers, as I plan to do in the next 6 months?

 What might be allowed today to tempt you to purchase might be a different story in a few months. It seems that there should be a clear distinction of what is allowed.

If you need help at any time should a problem occur or the software need reinstalling, you can create a support ticket on our web site and we will assist you.  If you need the software on a different computer you will have to remove it from one of the computers you have it installed on now and let us know when you have done so.

Hello again - Next issue - I purchased Portrait Pro Studio 15 and use it in Photoshop. I recently purchased Affinity Photo software and successfully installed the Portrait Pro plugin, and it seems to work fine in Affinity, thought you might like to know that.
